[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 412186, member: 1233"] I think your mom is very threatened by the endless way you have devoted yourself to helping your kids.Somewhere deep down she knows that she didn't help YOU and did a lot of things that caused some real problems. By lashing out at you when you seek mental health care for your kids, she is attempting to not have to face her own feelings of inadequacy. If you do all of this for your kids, and she didn't for you, then maybe you will think she was a bad mom. So she tries to make you think that getting help for your kids is a sign that you are a bad mom, meaning that she was a good mom. The sad thing is that I bet you understand that she did the best she could with what she knew and her own problems. The best she knew how to do and was able to do back at the time. If you didn't have some understanding of tis youw ouldn't talk to her, Know what I mean?? WHile you may have problems from your childhood and what did and didn't happen (who doesn't?), you know she never looked around and wondered how she could mess you up the worst today. All of her statements about this, even the personal attacks on you, are just a sign that she is terribly insecure about her own parenting and personal abilities and shortcomings. [/QUOTE]
